A new town accountant is set to begin work July 2 after being approved by selectmen.

Suzanne Moquin of Freetown will take over the position full-time from the interim town accountant who has been filling the position since November.

Moquin is now the town accountant in Blackstone and previously held the position in Freetown. She also has experience as a consultant for Wellfleet, Harwich and Wareham, according to her resume provided by the town.

Former Abington accountant, Anthony Sulmonte, made $81,150 last year before leaving in November in what town officials have called “a mutual decision.”

An interim accountant has been paid about $45,000 to take over the duties since Sulmonte’s departure, Town Manager John D’Agostino said last month.
